Anybody Training For Hopper Work ??

Anybody Training For Hopper Work ??

Greetings all,

Mike in Kirkwood (Binghamton area) here just joined up today..

I was curious how one would get a start pulling hoppers w/o any hopper experience ?? Are there any decent companies out there that would train a guy with plenty of long haul but zero hopper experience ??

In my 21st year of long haul and are looking for a new challenge.....Most of my experience is van/reefer but have pulled just about everything at one time or another from bulk tank, liquid tank, some bull wagon, and a very small amount of flat/step.....I would love to get away from slamming doors and never go back !!

I can't relocate out of upstate NY at this time, but are willing to travel within reason to an out of state job for the right opportunity..

If someone could get me pointed in the right direction I sure would appreciate it..

Thanks,
Mike
